Sleep Token Earns Debut U.K. No. 1 Album With ‘Even in Arcadia’

Sleep Token has secured its first U.K. No. 1 Album on the Official Albums Chart with Even in Arcadia (May 16). 

The masked metal band previously hit the No. 3 spot with their 2023 LP Take Me To Eden, and have three songs in this week’s U.K. top 40 singles. In June, the band are poised to headline Download Festival in England for the first time, alongside Green Day and Korn.

Even in Arcadia has already made noise on a number of Billboard charts in the U.S., with two songs debuting at No. 1 on the Hot Hard Rock Songs (“Caramel” and “Damocles”). The album hit No. 1 on Australia’s ARIA Charts on Friday also.

PinkPantheress achieves a career high with her new mixtape Fancy That, which ends the week at No. 3. The Bath-born songwriter and producer previously enjoyed success with 2021’s to hell with it (No. 20) and 2023 release Heaven knows (No. 28).

Speaking to Billboard, she discussed the creative process behind Fancy That. “I wanted to create a project that reflected my progress as a producer. I made something that kind of incorporated my two projects into one super project. I produced a lot of it in London in my house. I listened to a lot of U.K. music. A specific era, a lot of Basement Jaxx, a lot of Calvin Harris.”

Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet holds steady at No. 2, while Ed Sheeran’s +–=÷× (Tour Collection) slips one place to No. 4. Indie heroes The Kooks have achieved their highest spot on the Official Albums Chart in 17 years with their seventh LP Never/Know which ends the week at No. 5. It joins their 2006 debut Inside In / Inside Out (No. 2) and 2008’s Konk (No. 2) as top five finishers.
